"An important first step to minimize implicit bias is to understand your own unconscious bias", advised Caralyn Cooley, former Amazon and Jet.com executive, and current EVP, Chief People Officer at Bowery Farming. Unconscious biases can influence hiring decisions, leading to unintended discrimination, exclusionary practices, and mis-hires. Harvard Business Review research found that candidates with "white-sounding" names are 50% more likely to receive interview callbacks than those with "black-sounding" names. The good news: we can mitigate bias with structured hiring processes to minimize subjective judgments and foster inclusivity, for example anonymizing resumes, diversifying interview panels, and providing diversity training.

"Intrinsic motivation and vision/mission alignment are just as vital as hard skills" - Rockman Ha, former Talent Director at Gilt and MongoDB, now VP of Talent Acquisition at Patreon. Did you know? - 9 out of 10 global execs say soft skills are more important than ever. - The World Economic Forum predicts critical thinking, creativity, and emotional intelligence will be top skills by 2025 as AI and automation take over routine tasks. Yet, many founders still prioritize technical qualifications over interpersonal abilities. This narrow focus can lead to hiring candidates who excel on paper but struggle in dynamic startup environments. Read more in The Founder’s Guide to Smart Hiring - Top Mistakes and How to Avoid Them.
